A Stack Of Ideas

from More Stuff Other People Said by Adam Balbo

/

lyrics

sometimes i think, sometimes i don't
sometimes i would, most times i won't
sometimes i think, to survive you gotta kill
& when the killin ain't done by us, someone else will
maybe you can pick which part you want to die
but for fuck sake since we're hated, let's ask ourselves why

we don't have to be you or me
association makes us guilty
guilt don't imply aggression
nor am i absolved by this confession
killers kill ultimately
maybe discriminately their opposition
& diers die can figuratively
maybe accidentally or by their own volition

solutions make for good paintings or songs
maps are pretty pictures for walls
here's a contradiction: innocent nation
i had to redraw my boundaries
to see where i was standing at

i gotta do stuff to talk stuff
when i do other stuff, i talk other stuff
i feel conditioned, i feel weak
i feel defeated, even before i speak

yes, i embrace destruction. before i build
i plan to fall over. once i find the will
the world is fragmented, splintered & cracked
the forces are reforcing ideological maps

i gotta stack of ideas my fears are in a heap
i'm gonna kick 'em over, to see where they meet
i can't go out on the street like this
my mind's undressed & my nose is stickin out
i'm gonna light my cigarette
it'll burn by itself
i'll sit next to the smoke
& blow blow blow
